ummmm, not sure about this. In response to someone, he noted that if there was a backup restore, the person would get back the original file with tags, etc. etc. identical to what was backed up...no changes whatsoever (so if metadata was wrong, it would still be wrong). I think (and don't know certainly) that the idea is to probably READ the backed up files and where possible provide matches (e.g., 9000 rips of the Beatles White Album tracks show exactly the same audio content). In my own mind, this is not much different than his VERY USEFUL "accuraterip" database, which allows users of dbpa, EAC, even foobar2000, to compare their CD rips to many other users' rips to confirm that the audio content is identical even though ripped from a different physical CD, on a different computer, with a different drive. This in my mind is brilliant (and I'm a paid user of dbpa). -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93865 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
